Answer to Question 1

When the room is set with a head table, it should be set apart from and face the other tables. The front of the head table should always be covered with table skirting or draped tablecloth reaching approximately 2 inches above the floor.
If requested, a head table can be placed on a portable stage that is raised from 6 to 36 inches above the floor, depending upon the nature and circumstances of the event. There are occasions where the head table may be set apart from the other tables by an above average size centerpiece such as a tall floral arrangement, signifying the distinction of the table. This is often the case when a speaker podium is to be used. The table is set close to and off to one side of the podium allowing for speakers to easily come forward to the podium with the least amount of distraction.

Answer to Question 2

The new items, and the daily specials that may be offered. These meetings usually take place 1530 minutes before the meal period. This is a good time to allow the servers to taste any new menu items or the special of the day. This is an opportunity to have the kitchen and service staff communicate with each other and to discuss each other's needs. This is an important training tool which will give each server a personal reference for the restaurant's menu items, thereby making them an informed and enthusiastic salesperson.
